📊 Practical Guide: Wind, Seasons and Gear
In Zanzibar, the wind is driven by trade winds. We organize our kite camps during the two best seasons of the year to guarantee you the maximum number of sessions:
Season | Best Months | Wind Strength & Direction | Kite Sizes |
|---|---|---|---|
The Kusi (Southerly Wind) | June to September | 15 to 25 knots (Side-on-shore) | 8m to 17m (Ideal for Beginners, Strapless & Waves) |
The Kaskazi (Northerly Wind) | December to February | 14 to 20 knots (Side-shore) | 10m to 17m (Ideal for Beginners, Freeride & Hydrofoil) |
⚠️ The Tide Rule in Jambiani: The spot changes its face throughout the day, adapting perfectly to every rider's profile:
Low Tide: The lagoon empties out, leaving a shallow, butter-flat water area. It is the perfect setup for beginners to stand up safely and for freestylers to stomp their tricks.
Mid Tide (Rising/Falling): The water comes back up over the reef, opening up the entire playground. The outer reef and its highly accessible waves become rideable—a dream for wave riders and freeriders alike.
High Tide: The lagoon turns into a massive, deep freeride pool. This is the ultimate window for advanced riders and hydrofoil fans to glide over endless turquoise water.
